Tesla SI unit of magnetic flux density equal
to webers per square meter.
Gauss cgs unit of magnetic flux density
equal to maxwells per square centimeter.
Example
How many magnetic lines of force will pass
a 5 sq. cm perpendicular area on a magnetic
field having a flux density of 2000 gauss?
The phenomena of magnetism and
electromagnetism are dependent upon a certain property
of the medium called its permeability. Every medium is
supposed to possess two permeabilities: (i)absolute
permeability () and (ii) relative permeability (r). For
measuring relative permeability, vacuum or free space is
chosen as the reference medium. It is allotted an absolute
permeability of 0 = 4 107 henry/metre. Obviously,
relative permeability of vacuum with reference to itself is
unity. Hence, for free space, absolute permeability 0 =
4 107 H/m relative permeability r = 1.
Permeability
the ability of a material to conduct
magnetic flux through it.

Magnetic Field Strength (H)
Magnetic field strength at any point within a magnetic field is
numerically equally to the force experienced by a N-pole of one weber
placed at that point. Hence, unit of H is N/Wb.

DC Generators
Introduction
Electrical Generator
A machine that converts mechanical energy into
electrical energy. The energy conversion is based on the
principle of the of Faradays first law of Electromagnetic
Introduction, which states that whenever a conductor cuts
magnetic lines of flux, an emf is developed in the conductor
Operating Principle
Generating an AC Voltage
The difference between AC and DC generators:
AC generators use slip rings
DC generators use commutators
Otherwise, the machine constructions are essentially the
same.
Essential Parts
Magnetic frame or Yoke
Pole-cores and Pole-shoes
Pole coils or Field coils
Armature core
Armature windings or Conductors
Commutator
Brushes and Bearings
Yoke
The outer frame or yoke serves double purpose:
It provides mechanical support for the poles and acts
as a protecting cover for the whole machine
It carries the magnetic flux produced by the poles
Pole cores and Pole shoes
The pole shoes serve two purposes:
they spread out the flux in the air gap and reduces the
reluctance of the magnetic path
support the exciting coils
Pole coils
The field coils or pole coils are former wound for the
correct dimension. Then the former is removed and wound
coil is put into place over the core.
When current is passed through these coils, they
electromagnetise the poles which produce the necessary flux
that is cut by revolving armature conductors.
Armature Core
It houses the armature conductors or coils and causes
them to rotate and hence cut the magnetic flux of the field
magnets. Its most important function is to provide a path of
very low reluctance to the flux through the armature from a
N-pole to a S-pole.
Armature Windings
The armature windings are usually former wound. These
are first wound in the form of flat rectangular coils and are
then pulled into their proper shape in a coil puller. The
conductors are placed in the armature slots whish are lined
with tough insulating material.
Commutator
The function of the commutator is to facilitate collection
of current from the armature conductors.
Brushes and Bearings
The brushes whose function is to collect current from
commutator, are usually made of carbon or graphite and are
in the shape of a rectangular block.

Parallel Operation of DC Generators
In order to increase the capacity of a system serving
different loads, a number of generators are connected in
parallel
Basic requirements
1. The same external characteristics
2. Terminal polarity must be the same
3. Terminal voltage must be equal in magnitude
Example
Two identical 600kW, 230V dc generators are operating in
parallel and take equal shares of an 800kW, 250V busload. The
voltage regulation of each machine is 5%. If one of the
generators is accidentally tripped off from the line, what is the
voltage of the remaining busload?

DC Motors
Introduction
Electric motor
A machine that converts electrical energy into
mechanical energy
Direct current motors are seldom used in ordinary
industrial applications because all electric utilities supply AC.
However, for special applications such as in steel mills, mines,
and electric trains, it is sometimes advantageous to transform
the AC into DC in order to use DC motors. The reason is that
the torque-speed characteristics of DC motors can be varied
over a wide range while retaining high efficiency.

Speed Control of Shunt Motors
Variation of Flux or Flux Control Method
By decreasing the flux, the speed can be increased and
vice versa. The flux of a d.c motor can be changed by
changing I
sh
with help of a shunt field rheostat.
Armature or Rheostatic Control Method
This method is used when speeds below the no load
speed are required. As the supply voltage is normally
constant, the voltage across the armature is varied by
inserting a variable rheostat or resistance in series with the
armature circuit.
Voltage Control Method
Multiple Voltage Control
In this method, the shunt field of the motor is
connected permanently to a fixed exciting voltage but the
armature is supplied with different voltages by connecting
it across one of the several different voltages by means of
suitable switchgear. The armature speed will be
approximately proportional to these different voltages.
The intermediate speeds can be obtained by adjusting the
shunt field regulator.
Ward-Leonard System
This system is used where an unusually wide and very
sensitive speed control is required as for colliery winders,
electric excavators, elevators and the main drives in steel
mills and blooming and paper mills.
Speed control of Series motors
Flux control method
Variation in the flux of series motor can be brought about
in any one of the following ways.
Field Divertors
The series winding are shunted by a variable resistance
known as field divertors.
Armature Divertor
A divertor across the armature can be used for giving
speeds lower than the normal speed.
Trapped Field Control Field
This method is often used in electric traction. The
number of series field turns in the circuit can be changed
at will. With full field, the motor runs at its minimum
speed which can be raised in steps by cutting out some of
the series turns.
Paralleling Field Coils
In this method several speeds can be obtained by
regrouping the field coils
Variable Resistance in Series with Motor
By increasing the resistance in series with the armature
the voltage applied across the armature terminals can be
decreased.
